Kentucky Style 2.5 gallon Pot Still · 模型 98942
A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away… This is a complete documentation and fabrication package for building a 2,5-gallon Kentucky Style Pot Still featuring a copper Liebig (jacketed) flow-through condenser. This was my very first experience with coppersmithing, so please be kind! The entire still was calculated, 3D-modeled, flat-patterned, and hand-built by myself in real life. It has been fully tested and is 100% functional. A few design notes: Some of the engineering solutions used in the original physical build turned out to be a bit redundant (for example, connecting the condenser via a threaded union fitting). On these drawings, I simplified the connection to a permanent solder joint. However, if you prefer to make your condenser detachable, you can easily modify the design using a union fitting at your own discretion. Tip for beginners: If you are not confident about cutting an expensive sheet of copper right away, I highly recommend practicing on full-scale paper templates first. Try cutting and taping a 1:1 paper model of the pot still to check the fitment. That is exactly what I did before touching the metal, and it helped a lot! PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS: The patterns are divided into multiple A4 sheets so anyone can print them on a standard home printer and tape them together. When printing the PDF, make sure to set the scale to 100% (Actual Size). Do not use "Fit to Page", otherwise the dimensions will stretch and the parts won't fit. CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: • Use LEAD-FREE SOLDER ONLY! Standard plumbing or electronics solder can contain lead, which is highly toxic. Ensure all solders and fluxes used are food-grade and certified for drinking water systems. • This design is provided "AS-IS" for educational and hobby purposes only. Build and operate at your own risk.
